Abstract

The University of Georgia Libraries has been teaching a one credit introductory GIS class as part of the Undergraduate Certificate in Digital Humanities which transforms library education from a one-shot model of teaching map and data literacy, to a credit bearing semester long course that provides a deeper understanding of GIS. The class focuses on student learning objectives, which include the ability to critically evaluate cartographic information, gain a proficiency in data literacy as it applies to geospatial data, gain introductory skills in GIS technologies and to use GIS data to explore and answer humanities based research questions in the Digital Humanities.
